Now, back to the present - this is one of my favourite live acts. Unfortunately, Thomas Truax is an act you've got to experience rather than 'see' or 'hear', but going to a live show, watching him build a song from instruments he made himself, layer by layer, creating these beautiful, horrible, surreal songs. If you like this, check out 'Why Dog's Howl at the Moon' or his album of David Lynch Covers.
